Google Business Profile
Be one of the first three businesses customers actually see.
Your profile shows up. The business down the road shows up first. That three-business map pack is where most people pick when they search "near me." Google Business Profile work is what decides whether you are one of those three.

The diagnosis
What we find. What we fix.
Every business we take on starts with the same audit. When we pull up a new profile, it is almost always some version of this.
| What we fix | What we usually find |
|---|---|
| Yes: The right main category, plus every related one that fits | No: Wrong or too-broad main category |
| Yes: Every service Google offers, mapped to your main jobs | No: Services list half-filled or empty |
| Yes: Name, address, and phone matched everywhere Google checks | No: Old info stuck on Bing, Apple Maps, and Yelp |
| Yes: Every review answered within hours | No: Reviews sitting unanswered for months |
The stakes
Why the profile matters more than most owners think.
Ask an owner where customers come from and most say word of mouth. The math says otherwise: a huge share of those still check the map before they call. Your profile is the moment between hearing your name and picking up the phone. If it looks half-finished, they call the business whose profile looks like someone is paying attention.
Real client scans, details removed for privacy. Each pin is a spot in town and its rank there: red is past page one, green is the top three. Drag any handle to see the climb so far. These are live accounts still in progress, not finished results.

The work
What the ongoing work actually is.
Map-pack ranking
Bad edits do not stick
Review responses within hours
Weekly posts
Photos rotated in
Category and service audit
The secret sauce
You could do all of this yourself. But will you?
None of it is secret: the category work, the weekly posts, the same-day review responses, the photo rotation, the monthly audit. You could do every bit of it. The hard part is doing it every single week, forever, on top of running the business.
So we do it for you. You stay in the field running jobs, and the profile keeps showing up. Every week. That is the whole job.

Ownership
Your profile stays in your name. Always.
The profile lives in your Google account, not ours. We are just the manager. We do the work that makes it rank, and the day you leave, all of it stays under your name.

Common questions
Questions most owners ask.
Will this replace my existing profile?
No. We manage the profile you already have. If you have not claimed it yet, we claim it first and then start the work.
I have some bad reviews sitting there. Can you help?
Yes. Part of the work is answering old, unanswered reviews calmly and professionally. We cannot remove them (Google rarely does), but a good response to a bad review often does more than three new five-stars.
How fast does my ranking change?
Weekly ups and downs are normal; the trend is what matters. Expect about three months of compounding before the map pack looks meaningfully different, with the bigger jumps at six and twelve months.
Do I have to take the photos?
You take the job and team shots (we tell you exactly what to snap). We handle everything else: categories, services, posts, review responses, and a map-pack ranking check at least monthly.
How much work is this for me?
Almost none. We handle the setup and the weekly work. For account access we hop on a quick Zoom, or screen-share to help with passwords. After that, you just field the calls and messages the profile brings in.
Can I just do this myself?
Honestly, you can. Everything we do is doable. The hard part is doing it every single week, forever, on top of running the business. That consistency is what you are paying for.
What does the monthly fee include?
Everything on the work list above. Nothing else is separate. Unlike ads, Google Business Profile does not charge you anything directly.
